When Shapes and Sizes played last night, they made a joke about how, since the vast majority of the audience at the M For Montreal showcase last night consisted of industry folks, instead of hearing some clapping between songs, they would hear the sound of pen on paper. Now I wish I had written some [...]

Hola folks! Bloggin’ from the Osheaga Festival! Yeaaaaaaaah! Tessa just got here with some sunscreen so I can stop obsessing about skin cancer. The 4 of us (with Alanah and our new buddy Bradley) just got back from Thunderheist at the MEG stage. Let’s just say a whole lot of sweat was shed. Shed? Can [...]
Bloggin live from Osheaga here - I’m definitely the only nerd who brought their laptop to the fest. Just in case you were thinking of doing this: don’t. There are 10 computers hooked up to the “nets” right here on site because those in the know know that people cannot be expected to sever themselves [...]
Matt Lederman is one of the co-founders of this long running collaborative performance called Moondata and he’s also the venue manager at the Main Hall, we had a good time together when we were planning the Indyish Launch so I’d love to see him do his thing. Also, I met Killa-Jewel at the Music Video [...]
Sorry for dropping off the map yesterday everyone- we had router issues and the flu going down over here. It wasn’t pretty, but I will not complain about being physically forced to stay in bed and watch movies while El took good care of me and wrestled with technology, especially since I got to watch [...]
Hey! Look who’s on the cover of this week’s Montreal Mirror? Why, it’s Thunderheist. After seeing them play the Indyish/Pop Montreal Holla-Days party in December, I’m entirely sold. Their tracks on myspace are probably the best club hiphop I’ve heard recently and we were pumping them in the office and at home for weeks before [...]
Lots of people came and cozied in to Maryanna and Melinda’s beautiful “Detention” studio wednesday night to enjoy the music videos that got made this weekend (story here). We had a nice big screen borrowed by a student on our team from a local university, and a digital projector borrowed from a friend. Calling people, [...]
I just got this flyer emailed to me by Tessa- Lara Kaluza of Launch Weekend Telefauna music video fame designed it (you can see the video she’s in here).
She’s working on a new music video right now! as we speak! this time for ThunderHeist. Meanwhile, she somehow found time to create this kick ass lil [...]
We have a fantastical hiphop holiday party coming up Dec 17 at Club Lambi. Which to me, seems like a dream. A good dream. A very good dream. And the dream keeps getting sweeter.
As many of you know, we at Indyish often work with a lad in Scotland named Iain Laurie, or OneNeck, [...]
